    Here is a link to some information that may be useful for the era. Its quite in depth. The website itself has more information about other historical eras in almost every part of the world than ive found anywhere else. the link should take you half way down a page to the era in question, 25-220ad, it is quite short but afterwards delves into the three kingdoms, 220-266ad. this is just 1 page of hundreds and if you check out the side scroll bar then you will get an idea of the information on the site. I thought id post it as it could prove useful.

    The mod is based on the fiction I believe, can't hurt to have some input from that perspective as well.

    Thanks for the link, I will follow it up.

    More or less histirical scripts wiil, probably, be: 1) Yellow turban (or other forces) rebellions. For example, if you stert with 10 prov and capture 5 more - rebellion occures in particular or random region;
    2) There are many mercenaries (kinda medieval italian condottiers) fight for many sides of conflict. Hence, they can be implemented like mercenaries in Call of Warhammer or other way. At least, Zhuge Lyan

    Xx_Turk_xX, of course they do! They are leaders of their factions

    Uanime (insert numbers here) has some pretty good Asian units.

    But about the Chinese units, divide all the stats by two, especially those Song Swordsmen.

    They rape European Knights.

    All of those models belong to the Stainless Dragon team, as that's the mod that they were accredited from.

    I don't think that they would fit in this mod, though, as they are of the 12th century while this mod takes place in the 3rd century.

    Good point.

    I don't think the same amount of armor as a tank, a sword as long as a pike, and the charge speed of lancher cavalry would fit in this mod to begin with. (talking about song swordsmen.)

    But were they all made by the same person, even the Korean, the Phillipino units, the Indochinese units, etc.?

    This link might be interesting for you, The Three Kingdoms. It is an online translated copy of the original with a study by Dr Rafe de Crespigny, and it also includes an outline of Chinese History and Mythology.

    I have had this book downloaded onto my phone for some time and only just remembered that i still had it, so i went looking for it online to see if i could find it for you. Some of the links in the book to additional studies about the era unfortunately no longer work.

    It is a very good read!

    If i get some free time i would like to help out with this project, scripting, coding, research... whatever...

    Much appreciated.

    I am looking for someone who could research the time line. I am interested in scripting events and tasks\missions that agree with the story. Preferably in a quest form - one event\mission leading to another.
    There is no script at the moment apart from basic stuff (multiple rounds\year, hide UI for screen shots, wonder monitors - that sort of scripting), nothing historic.
    Another part would be a sort of calendar, like we did in 1648 - informative messages related to the original story line.
